DescriptionThe SG-5 is a 5-axis gantry CNC milling machine designed to machine a wide range of materials including aluminum, composites, polystyrene, acrylic, wood, resins and solid surface materials. Its modular architecture enables configuration for model making, edge finishing and production tasks across marine, automotive, aerospace, rail and stagecraft industries.
Applications- Aeronautical: machining of composite components and tooling patterns
- Marine: models, lightweight structures and prototyping for vessels
- Model making and prototyping: scale models, architectural elements and custom parts
- Composites: cutting and machining of technical foams, polyurethane and resins
- Molds and dies: production of patterns for thermoforming and casting
- Art and stage design: scenic elements and large-format decorative parts
Materials- Aluminum and light alloys: roughing and finishing of structural parts
- Composites and laminates: carbon fiber, fiberglass and technical laminates
- Acrylic and methacrylate: cutting and machining with optical finishing
- Wood and derived boards: MDF, plywood and solid wood
- Technical resins: prototypes, molds and tooling
- Solid Surface: Corian and similar materials
